I'm an upcoming graduate of an ABET-accredited bachelor's-degree program seeking an entry-level position. I've completed 5-6 years at Golden Eagle Aviation as a lineman and technician and assisted in research study that examined flood samples of different wall structures, designing and building frames for flight simulators, and calibration of an external balance for a subsonic wind tunnel. Academic studies have provided a foundation in aerodynamics and physics; structural stress and dynamics Methodology; systems design and testing; flight mechanics and controls.

EXPERIENCE
GOLDEN EAGLE AVIATION (Tuskegee, AL)
FBO and aviation school
Technician and Lineman May 2008 to September 2013
I've gained experience understanding monthly aircraft maintenance, shop inventory, daily fuel sump, and customer relations.
Increased knowledge of aircraft systems and flight training, flight test procedures.
Conducted monthly maintenance on piston aircrafts as well as body refurbishment. I have completed a monthly inventory observations and monthly revenue sales.
Gained knowledge in customer relations, fueling and servicing aircrafts, and daily checks of fuel and amount.
Currently getting a private pilot's license.
TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY (Tuskegee, AL)
Research Assistant, Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanical Engineering, September 2011 to present
I've assisted Associate Dean of mechanical engineering in the study of home flooding, observing different materials of walls and locating problems and determining solutions. I have also assisted Mr. Bruce Heath in designing frames for a 3-D flight simulation. I have participated in the calibration of an external balance using the calibration interaction matrix with Mr. Heath. The purpose of this research is to calibrate six components by loading the calibration "T". The components that were calibrated were lift, drag, yaw, roll moment, pitch, and side force.

KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY AT SALINA (Salina, KS)
Research, Department of Aviation
May 2014 to August 2014
I've worked with UAS and UAV systems in the aviation department, understanding the rules and regulations as well as changeable payloads and problematic functions. The main task was helping to design a more efficient UAV that could withhold a payload of a specific size and perform at 100%. This targeted the structural design and propulsive system of the UAV as well as different features of the payloads.
